As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you solve your problems that impede your happiness and well being. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the current challenges in your life. You may be depressed, anxious, struggling with addiction or feeling stuck in old patterns that leave you feeling hopeless. Perhaps you are your own worse critic, habitually repeating negative, harsh, or judgmental messages to yourself. Or, you may be facing overwhelming challenges with your spouse or significant other. I have been helping people overcome these and many other life issues for over 15 years. My therapy style is warm and compassionate but also very active. I believe that therapy needs to produce insight as well as a change in behavior.

"Your Weapon Is Your Mind" is a free vet-run support squad for Combat Vets in Denver near CO Blvd & Yale. I offer a confidential, supportive environment for combat vets to find the camaraderie they long for now that they're no longer down range. As a vet who works in mental health, I understand what sacrificing for your country means, and I can bring a unique set of skills to the table to dismantle the barriers keeping veterans from living life to the fullest. During war, service members rely on each other for protection and support, and that should not end after discharge. This group meets every other Wednesday from 1800-2000 starting 9/21/2016. I'd like to talk to the vet before they attend to make sure it's a good fit for them; they can call me or I can call them. I'm willing to meet in person too. YourWeaponIsYourMind@gmail.com
